Human Rights Declaration In the United States, several of the largest national organiza tions already have launched long term programs on education about the Declaration, and others are preparing to make “Human Rights” an important part of their basic programs. Educational and religious organizations, many of them members of the U. S. Na tional Commission for UNESCO, are particularly active. They have help the Commission make available 2,000 kits for organiza tions and for press, radio and tele vision outlets. Included in the kits are the President’s proclama tion of 1949, in which he set aside December 10 as Human Rights Day for all future years; such in formational materials as “The Un folding of the American Tradi tion” and the chapter on Human Rights from “The UNESCO Story,” and guides to discussion and com munity projects. The UN Department of Public Information is arranging a Human Rights Day musical program at the Metropolitan Opera House, to which delegates from all nations will be invited. It is expected that the program will be carried on radio and television, as was a similar program from Carnegie Hall last year. Scores of radio and television stations throughout I the country, some of them work ing in collaboration with colleges and universities, already have an nounced special programs; and hundreds of schools are expected to take advantage of the materials and services made available through the U. S. Office of Edu cation and such private groups as the National Education Associa tion and the National aCtholic Educational Association. In addition to the action by Sec retary-General Lie, the Third (So cial, Humanitarian and Cultural) Committee of the UN General As sembly this year adopted the fol lowing resolution on a U. S. pro posal: “Considering that on 10 Decem ber 1948 the General Assembly proclaimed the Universal Declara tion of Human Rights as a com mon standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations . . . distinct forward step in the march of human progress . . . “That the anniversary of this great event should be appropri ately celebrated in all countries as part of a common effort to bring the Declaration to the attention of the peoples of the world, “Expressing its appreciation to all those countries Members or non-members of the United Na tions which have already cele brated this anniversary. “Invites all States and interested organizations to adopt December 10 of each year as Human Rights Day, and observe this day to cele brate the proclamation . . . and to exert increasing efforts in this field of human progress . Following are further com ments by Chairman Stoddard of the U. S. National Commission for UNESCO, which is a group of 100 citizens established by law to ad vise the State Department on UNESCO affairs: “The Commission on Human Rights of the Economic and Social Council deliberated for more than two years in order to achieve this declaration. There were difficul ties to overcome. The basic con cept of human rights varies with legal and cultural traditions. Ex tremes of economic development often override principles of ab stract justice. But the first chal lenge—a common agreement on the meaning of human rights— has been faced courageously. “The General Assembly of the United Nations rightly proclaimed the Declaration as ‘a common standard of achievement for all people and all nations.’ It is truly an inspiration. It is a goal to be reached by the peace-loving na tions of the world. “Success is not to be measured by inspiration alone. The mature world of today requires that ac tion and idealism be teamed up. This practical approach charac terizes the second stage of the problem of human rights. It is a question of implementation. Virginia U. Tells Governor (Continued from Page 1) out the public school. People feel quite differently about young chil dren and they are not willing to make in the cases of those who are more mature. “To undertake to set up mixed public schools in the face of this ! sentiment would be to open a fes , tering wound that would sap our strength and destroy that unity without which there is no hope for substantial progress for either race in he South. “In countless instances the Ne gro has seen the segregation laws used as the shield of humiliation, exploitation and oppression. It is not difficult to understand his aversion to them.** GET YOUR FOOT LONG HOT DOGS AT 2231 R STREET Clyde Bowlin DAIRY STORE UKKBU FKOI1AL DIFOBIt OWJBANCK COIWMUTMHI 10th and 0 St. Since 1871 • TATI ■(•TOBIC Al» SOCIITT Nebraska's Governors—23 John H. Morehead, governor from 1913 to 1917, was an im portant figure in Nebraska poli tics during most of the first third of the 20th century. In addition to his two terms as governor, he served six terms in congress, and one term as member of the state senate (during which he was president pro-tern). Governor Morehead was born at Columbia, Iowa, December 3, 1861, the son of Mir. and Mrs. Andrew Morehead, Iowa pioneers. He at tended the public schools, a pri vate school in Knoxville, Iowa, and a business college in Shenan doah. As a young man of 23, he came to Nebraska, but a visit to Ne maha County enroute convinced him that he should remain in the southeastern section of the state. In the tradition of many another young Nebraskan on the w’ay up, he taught school for a couple of years, then went into business for himself. He married Minnie Weisenreder of Aspinwall, and the young cou ple settled in Barada, where John went into the mercantile busi ness. Almost immediately the business showed a profit and the young husband began investing in land and branched out into the livestock business. Later, he be came one of the founders of the Barada State bank. Mr. Morehead’s first venture into politics occurred in 1895 when he ran successfully for the post of Richardson County treasurer. He was re-elected in 1897. Following the expiration of his second term he became cashier of the First National bank in Falls City—later he would become its president as well as head of the Nebraska State bank—and the Moreheads con tinued to live in the town that was to become their lifelong home. Governor Morehead served a term as mayor of Falls City be fore being sent to the state senate for a term (1909-11). He was a delegate to the Democratic Na tional Convention in 1908. He won the hostly-contested Demo cratic nomination for governor in 1912, and then defeated Chester H. Aldrich, Republican, who was seeking re-election. He was re elected in 1914, but refused to run for a third term in 1916. He ran for the U. S. Senate in 1918, but was beaten by George W. Nor ris. Two years later, Samuel R. McKelvie defeated him in another try for the governorship. In 1922, however, Governor BEAL'S GROCERY Fmk Fruits & Vegetables 2101 ■ TeL 2-6933 When You Need Money Set Federated Finance Co.
